Hi,

When I have say a title called Qtr1 in a cell and want to AUTOFILL it to the
right, I know to use the autofill handle...but it seems theres no good quick
one-two stroke shortcut key that goes with it...this has been puzzling to me
for a while now...Control R (fill right does not work in this case) Is there
one?

Thank you for any insight.

this has been puzzling to me for a while now

There are many more Excel commands than the number of keyboard shortcuts
available could ever support. Does that clarify things for you?<g.

Fortunately Excel supports macros that lets users make their own shortcuts.
Here's an example. Copy both of these to a module and run the first one.
Then try out Ctrl-Shift-f in the worksheet for filling a series. If you
like this and want to make it always available copy both to your
Personal.xls and call the first sub from your Personal's Sub Auto_Open or
Sub Workbook_Open, whichever it has.

Sub KeyTrapFillSeries()
Application.OnKey "^+f", "FillSeries"
End Sub

Sub FillSeries()
ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.DataSeries Type:=xlAutoFill
End Sub
